Also a few AU/BUs in the 60s that i set aside.

Weekly results:

Quarters ($380 searched): Wash x1, RUST Kansas quarter

Hello All. Complete newbie here. My first experience with coin roll hunting has been quite *interesting* so I thought I'd share.

On a whim while I was cashing in some quarter/nickel/dime rolls, I decided to ask my local bank about any half dollars they might have. The teller produced a single roll of Halves in the same kind of sleeve that I wrap all my coins in (with the folded up/mashed ends - if there is a proper name for these, please let me know). Knowing full well that it had to be picked through, I said "why not". I got the the car and gave a quick look at the edges and saw no silver. Oh well, some people go through boxes and don't get any so maybe this isn't so bad.

The following day, I went to a different bank and asked the same question. Turns out the teller is a coin collector and he ordered a box of Halves for some customers who only wanted a few rolls. He produced ~$460 worth of bank rolls (yellow wrapper). I opted to get two rolls, to double my chances, right?!? I saw that the end coin on one of the rolls he gave me was definitely silver so I got really excited. Once I left the building, I saw the end coin was a 1965 - SCORE! I went through the rest of that roll and the other one but found no more silver.

I got home and started sorting out all the coins from the three rolls just to see the year distribution and to see which I would be most easily willing to trade back in for cash. I got around to looking at the mint location and came across a 1992 Half that was quite dirty-looking. It had a 'S' mint mark. Being that it was the only 'S' in the bunch, I Googled it and came to realize that it was a proof coin. Once I saw that these coins were also minted in 90% silver, I immediately thought this "dirt" was tarnish. Sure enough, I used the baking soda+hot water+aluminum foil cleaning trick and it got the tarnish off. So, in three rolls, I scored a 90% and a 40%. Probably just beginner's luck.

By the way, the 1992 coin came from the first roll that I picked up that was almost certainly checked over. The tarnish on the edges made it look like the rest! Anyway, just thought I would share, in case all you do is look at the edges. Here are a few picks of the very lucky finds.
